"It's not the important things I don't remember. It's the stuff that's important, but not as important as more important stuff. Some stuff, you know, is important and some isn't important important, but still important. So I remember most of the important important stuff, or least the important parts of what's important, but not other important stuff because it's just not as important. I think this is important."

I agree with Anon (10:57) and Packer. What she was saying actual made sense to me. My family is finally learning that if they don't give it to me in writing, or watch me put it in my phone calendar or reminder file, it's almost guaranteed that I'll forget. Just telling me is pointless.

Usually I will eventually remember the important stuff, as opposed to the important important stuff. The problem is that it's usually at 10pm when I can't do anything about it, or two days after it was supposed to be done.

"But keep in mind that, of the important important stuff, there's the important important important stuff and then the merely important important stuff. And of the important important important stuff, there's the important important important important stuff..."
